About Abigail
Abigail Thurlow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut.

Abigail works with people facing life changes and complicated mood or behavioral issues.
She aims to make a first step feel manageable and straightforward. Abigail currently works in Medication Assisted Treatment for substance use and also sees clients in independent practice.
Background and approach
Her background includes seven years in group homes supporting young people with advanced mental health and behavioral needs. She has experience meeting people connected to the criminal justice system in halfway housing and on parole or probation. Her day-to-day approach is warm and direct.
Sessions blend listening with practical skills so people can try changes between meetings. She often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help with thoughts, emotions, and coping skills. Abigail also uses client-centered and motivational techniques and includes mindfulness practice when it fits a person's goals.
She pays attention to aging and cancer-related concerns and caregiver stress as part of a broader care picture.

How these approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance, and sessions aim to help people find their own solutions and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, or depressive thinking. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships when emotions feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Abigail will talk with each person about goals, life demands, and past experiences to decide which methods to use. She adjusts techniques as progress is made and invites feedback so treatment stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skills practice and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick updates, tracking progress, or brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or health appointments while keeping care consistent.
